Today i faced a problem where i went to the play store and went to my apps and all of the apps were up to date. I rebooted my phone and ''Youtube'' was being updated.
Why did it update after reboot instead of when i went to ''My apps'' in the playstore and everything was up-to-date ?
its normal.
it might of not been available for your phone the first time you checked. when apps are updated, not everyone gets the update right away. your neighbor might see an update for that app while you get the update hours later.
it's normal. That's happened to me pre-nexus 5..might be an availability thing or just need to refresh the connection to tip off the fact that you need the update.
I usually restart my phone at least two times a day just to keep the system running smoothly and make sure apps close out so it's no biggie to me

I can't install apps I've paid for. I can purchase new ones but they get stuck on "starting download" with a over ending status bar. Um on fresh .6
Wouldn't you know...
This problem's fixed itself since I posted this question. It didn't work for at least 2 weeks. Today I just queued up a bunch of apps to update, plus a new one to install (TivoRemote) and it did lag at the "Starting Download" progress bar for a looong time then all at once they started coming through as they should one-by-one. Typical.
Awesome.
I've had this randomly happened to me, even before I rooted my phone. I would typically disable my mobile data connection, enable wifi, then disable wifi and re-enable mobile. I have no clue what step along that way actually fixed it but it would start downloading again every time. I haven't seen it in a while though.
The same thing has been happening to me, I would restart my phone and the app would say it was installed but it force closed after uninstalling then reinstalling it worked fine
I've come across an interesting (at least now) issue w/ my Samsung Captivate. I don't know if the last OTA update is the source if I'm just "lucky". I'd rooted it a couple of weeks ago. Only loaded Titanium Backup and Busybox. I don't recall rebooting the phone since the update was installed. But I had back on Monday. When it started back up the widgets would not fully load. I had let it sit for a while and nothing. On rebooting a few times and trying different launchers, TWLauncher, ADW, and LauncherPro the issue kept occuring. Then I noticed I could not get the phone to download any new or update apps from the Android market. It would say it was getting ready to download but nothing more. To top it off the Check for Updates option would not respond from the setting menu for the phone.
After trying a few things I wound up reloading the update.zip used to root the phone and after the reboot it started working. Rebooted a couple of times to make sure it was behaving and it did. That was a big relief.
However just today I'd rebooted it again and the same issue reoccurred. Upon reloading the update.zip it once again worked as normal again.
I was considering unrooting but hesitant due to this.
Has anyone come across this or have suggestions of the root cause of this?
Did you use Titanium Backup to restore data to your phone? There is a known issue with TB if you restore your Accounts settings with it. It will cause the unable to download from market issues. When you do the restore, remove the checkmark from Accounts and just reinput your account info manually.
I've recently bought a Nexus 5, and am a bit puzzled about the automatic updates from the Play Store. I've got my settings set to automatically update over wifi only, but this doesn't appear to be happening. If I open the Play Store, there are apps there marked as having an update available, without my phone doing it for me.
What is the normal behaviour of the auto updates? Should the automatic updates occur immediately when the update is released (assuming I'm connected to wifi, of course) or is there often some delay between an update being released and my phone installing it?
EDIT: I should point out that I'm using stock 4.4.4.

Try clearing app data and cache in app info, it should update as well as your apps, it gets buggy at times when play store gets updated.

Thanks for the reply. I cleared the data and cache for the Play Store last night, and the phone was connected to WiFi all night, but no automatic updates had occurred overnight.
Is it normal to have a long delay before the automatic updates occur? I found that if I restart my phone, it will trigger the automatic update service, but it doesn't seem to really happen during normal operation (although it's only been about 1 day since I manually updated things, hence my question about the delay - can it normally take a day or two to trigger the updates?)
After many long attempts to fix this I have come up empty handed. I believe the Hardware is either corrupted or damaged but need an expert to help confirm. (it doesnt even seem worth it at this point to fix, but i want to try anyways, its my kids tablet) I will add as much detail as possible.
First the tablet would get stuck in booting (A9 screen) found that this is due to a corrupted firmware. I flashed a firmware onto the device and it was able to boot up, however still with a few issues. google play store when updated would instantly crash "google play store has stopped" the second you clicked to use it. the only fix i found for this was to uninstalled the google play store update back to factory and it would worked, with the problem of some apps had to be downloaded over and over until it decided to complete, often finishing with a package file invalid. but i managed to get a few games and whatever and gave it back to my daughter.
after about a week everything crashed at once on boot up. process.google.gapps would crash over and over and over as soon as you click ok, many other apps crashing as well and just repeating google account manager, Key chain, RS OTA, and others i cant remember at this time (the problem is currently not occurring or i would go get this information.) mostly the gapps process was crashed over and over making the tablet unusable due to constantly trying to click these errors.
Odd behaviour, during that i managed to click and quickly select settings, and went in and deleted a bunch of apps or uninstalled updates on ones that were crashing, i could uninstalled enough to stop all the errors.. then i rebooted the tablet.. and all the errors were back, and everything i uninstalled was back too, how the f**k?! lol.
i attempted such things as going into recovery and deleting all the cache and media, nothing. so i flashed it again.
the above error return after some time. and i flashed it again (my daughter wanted it working this seems to be my only quick and temporary fix, i have disabled many apps and stopped it from automatically updating, however i still found some settings after being changed, to be undone back to the way it was before i changed it after rebooting the tablet. again it always crashes when google play store updates. this time i rebooted the tablet and went to update the store, and now the app can NOT be found in the store. there does not even seen like a way to update the tablet like "here is your only buggy version, have fun"
CORRECTION: Google Play Store could not be updated because after restarting the tablet the updates were back, as if i had never uninstalled them. i didnt bother checking the first time because this is very unusual.
I am willing to root, change, hack, smash, throw out the window, put it in the hydraulic press at work...i dont care lol
i believe the hard drive has damage.
(i didnt run thru all the attempts i have made to fix things, cause i could write a novel. Thank you for reading.

By months my 3a won't automatically update itself even with update/download "over any network", I have already tried to restore and wipe from recovery but still unresolved.
Does anyone noticed this issue?
I tried waiting almost one month without system (monthly patch) and apps (all pending) updates popup.
Google support after few attempts, just proposed me a warranty replacement but the phone otherwise is perfect.
Manual updates works.
Any tips?
TY
I had the same issue back in January and didn't get a system update well into April. So I had to manually update. Still haven't gotten the May update yet, but we'll see.
Also with the apps?
If you have an unlocked bootloader, I would not count on automatic monthly updates. They work sometimes, but not most of the time. My personal experience is that I have to sideload the monthly updates about 90% of the time.
As far as app updates, I generally manually check it every couple of days and find that there are pending updates. I will hit the "update" button and manually update them if I see pending updates. That being said, if I don't check it for a while (maybe a week), the phone will eventually update the apps, but it certainly doesn't happen on a daily basis, at least not in my experience. I just wanted to add my experiences as they seem to be very similar to yours.

Having an unlocked bootloader, too, but I never had issues with updates until now, they are coming directly at the first day Google is sending out the OTA.
I wonder if our phone service provider is also a factor? I have not been seeing the updates available within a day or two of when they are posted on the first Monday of the month. I get my phone service through a T-mobile MVNO. Maybe people on Google Fi are more likely to get it OTA quickly?
My phone is rooted with Magisk.
But I'm impatient so I have always just applied the update manually. It's a bit more of a pain because it means that I have to download not only the update but also the factory image to extract the boot image file and patch it with Magisk.
I have not had a problem installing updates for apps through play. I just have to remember to NOT update youtube so that I don't lose youtube vanced!
Hi all and thanks for your time!
I have a good news.
After avoid to do any manual update, right now I see that few apps have been updated themself from 11 hr and 2 days ago, but other 22 apps are still pending (when I wrote here the 6th May they were 40).
Around the 23th of Feb I had to do manual update search because it still was with Jan patch, even in March and April I did the manual search the week after the day 5th.
My phone is not rooted and during the day it uses both cellular and WiFi networks, mostly of the nights I put it in airplane mode and battery save (so it lasts easily for 2 days).
The cause was because I put all the nights the phone in airplane mode with battery saver, last night I leave it connected to WiFi and under charge, this morning I found the advice to reboot for install the system patch and after boot also the apps were updated.
The system patch has been found around 4 am.
I'm having a similar issue with my rooted 3a. I have stock rom, elemental kernel, and magisk. But apps that came installed as part of the ohone won't update in Google play. Stuff like phone, contacts, sim carrier, Gmail, camera, etc
There's literally about 20 updates right now that won't install. They download, and say installing, then they just skip to the next and still say there's an available update. After the final one is tried, I get a message saying that it was unable to update those apps.
Any app that I downloaded from play or as an apk, allows me to update without any issue at all.
I have googled it and followed the recommendations, but so far, nothing has helped. I cleaned the cache, hard reboots, switch update settings, turned off play protect, deleted cache and data of play store and play services. Removed my account and added it bad. And have some a few more things that I read about -- but yet nothing fixes it.
If I should start a new thread, that's no problem. I don't want to hijack this one. But saw that it dealt with update issues and thought maybe I would see if I could find help.
